Li Jingwei is not a dragger, and after deciding to become a visiting professor at Oxford University, he began to write his resignation letter.

Objectively speaking, Li Jingwei has feelings for MIT. In particular, he has been a pleasure working with Professor Evans. The two are both teachers and students, as well as close friends.

This time, the main reason for the incident was that Wagner listened to Stephen's words, and he was already prejudiced against Chinese scientists, so he wanted to cut through the mess quickly and let the school completely dissociate himself from Li Jingwei.

It is precisely because of this that he instructed the vice president in charge of logistics to have the key to Li Jingwei's laboratory and the right to use other resources of the university, including the library.

These practices of the school made Li Jingwei very cold. And, in his opinion, this approach is tantamount to forcing himself to leave his job voluntarily. Because, as a scholar, if you can't carry out normal academic research, what's the point of staying here?

After writing the resignation letter, Li Jingwei emailed it directly to the school's personnel department. Of course, according to the normal procedure, as a professor, his resignation still needs to be discussed by the academic committee of the university.

However, for these, Li Jingwei no longer cares. Regardless of the outcome of the academic committee's discussions, he was determined.

Now, the semester has just started, and students have not officially started classes. According to the school's arrangement, Li Jingwei was supposed to teach two courses this semester.

The reason why he submitted his resignation so quickly was also due to the issue of curriculum adjustment. He hopes to leave more time for the school to transfer other teachers to take over his classes, so as not to affect the normal learning of students.

At the same time, Li Jingwei also sent an email to his supervisor, Professor Evans, hoping that he could take over the follow-up training of Emily and other three doctoral students, and also gave a general introduction to Professor Evans about the research of the three doctoral students he led.

Since Professor Evans was currently attending a seminar at the California Institute of Technology, Li Jingwei was in no hurry to call him. Besides, the two had already agreed to have dinner together on Friday, and he was going to explain the situation to Professor Evans in detail at that time.

Unbeknownst to Lee, Professor Evans had called Wagner several times after seeing his televised conversation, but he had never been able to reach him. During this period, Li Jingwei's phone was either turned off or busy.

Professor Evans is well aware that many universities will extend an olive branch to Li Jingwei for his academic achievements. When he couldn't figure it out, how could Wagner believe such a clumsy excuse as identity fraud?

He hopes that Li Jingwei can continue to stay at MIT, just like many parents want their children to work closer to him.

After doing this, Li Jingwei's heart did not have any fluctuations. He was angry before because he still cared about the school. And since he has decided to leave, he no longer cares, and he no longer has the slightest resentment in his heart. Even how unfairly schools treat themselves is a thing of the past.

Now that he had some free time, he decided to head to New York tomorrow and visit the American Museum of Natural History to study the African stone carvings and see if he could provide some ideas for cracking the treasure map.

As for the later arrangements, he does not plan to go to Las Vegas for a vacation as suggested by Professor Richard. Instead, I hope that I can use this time to learn from my master Cao Tianzheng.

As a whistleblower, Stephen was depressed at this time. Just now, he learned through some channels that he was not selected for the Fields Medal.

Stephen originally thought that he would definitely be shortlisted for the Fields Medal this time, but he didn't expect it to be successful.

The Fields Medal is only awarded to young mathematicians under the age of 40, and he is 39 years old this year, and if he does not make it this year, it means that he will not be able to win this award in his life.

The reason why Li Jingwei was reported this time was also to reduce one competitor. He believes that in the same year, it is unlikely that the award committee will allow two scholars from the same school to be shortlisted for the selection at the same time.

At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Li Jingwei and he are the two most likely to be shortlisted. If Li Jingwei is disqualified from the selection through the report, then he will definitely be shortlisted.

It's just that he didn't expect that even if he reported Li Jingwei, he still wasn't shortlisted.

"Professor, I don't think you can be selected, it must be because of Li Jingwei. Kyoko Ozawa, who was sitting on the side, saw Stephen's angry face turn blue, so she said to him, "He must have played some kind of conspiracy." ”

Kyoko Ozawa is a doctoral student under Stephen's leadership, graduated from Waseda University in Japan, and is also a doctoral student with considerable mathematical talent.

Initially, it was Ozawa Kyoko who encouraged Stephen to report Li Jingwei. And the reason she encouraged Stephen to report was that the award committee could not allow two scholars from the same school to be shortlisted for the selection at the same time.

After hearing this, Stephen thought it made sense, and began to think so. At the same time, he also made up his mind to report Li Jingwei.

In fact, there is no such rule in the selection process for the Fields Medal. Kyoko Ozawa put forward such a reason, just to hit Li Jingwei.

And the reason why Kyoko Ozawa wants to hit Li Jingwei is because she tried to apply to become Li Jingwei's doctoral student, but she was not selected, so she has always been resentful, thinking that Li Jingwei is prejudiced against herself because she is Japanese.

In particular, in the past two years, I have been even more jealous to see that the doctoral students supervised by Li Jingwei have published many papers in top journals. She felt that these achievements should have belonged to her.

Therefore, she hopes that Stephen can be selected, or at least Li Jingwei's defeat, which can be regarded as a blow to Li Jingwei.

Now, her original words of encouraging Stephen did not come true, so she began to excuse herself, so she said that Li Jingwei played a conspiracy.

However, Kyoko Ozawa's words still made Stephen fall into deep thought. He does not deny Li Jingwei's mathematical achievements, but believes that he is not bad either. I can't be selected, maybe it's really as Ozawa Kyoko said, it's because Li Jingwei secretly used some means to prevent him from being selected.

Conspirators are always accustomed to seeing everything as the result of a conspiracy, including their own failures, not because of their own reasons, but because of the conspiracy of others. Kyoko Ozawa and Stephen uphold this kind of thinking.

What made Stephen even more depressed was that he originally thought that as long as Li Jingwei was reported, the Fields Medal award committee would disqualify Li Jingwei.

Not long after he learned that he was not selected, the award committee issued an announcement about Li Jingwei's selection.

Before this, the news about Li Jingwei's selection was just some gossip, and there was no official announcement. And the announcement released now undoubtedly confirms the gossip that has been circulating before.

The award committee issued an announcement saying that in view of the repeated inquiries of many media about Professor Li Jingwei's selection for the Fields Medal, the public reply is as follows:

The Doyle Applied Mathematics Award Committee confirmed that Professor Li Jingwei did not have any identity problems in the process of participating in the Doyle Applied Mathematics Prize, and the selection was carried out on an open, fair and just basis. The Committee fully agrees with this.

In response to social concerns, the Committee hereby announces that Professor Li Jingwei has been selected for the Fields Medal, which is based on the unanimous consent of the jury members and based on the fair evaluation of Professor Li's contribution to the development of mathematics.

The release of this announcement undoubtedly completely shattered the conspiracy of Stephen and Kyoko Ozawa.

In fact, in previous selection processes, the judging committee usually did not make similar announcements. The reason for this release is also because the media has been asking the award committee for confirmation through various channels, and the latter was so annoyed that it simply issued an official announcement in response, and at the same time made its own position clear.

What is particularly intriguing is that in the announcement, it was clearly stated that the award committee had verified that Li Jingwei did not have any identity problems in the selection process of the Doyle Applied Mathematics Award. This is also equivalent to a direct refutation of previous media reports.

After this announcement was released, not only Stephen was very depressed, but some big media who learned the news were also extremely depressed. They didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly.

Li Jingwei didn't know about this announcement, he had just scanned the certificate of his birth in the United States and the supporting materials collected by the lawyer he had entrusted to send them to Pan Liwei by email. Subsequently, he made a special call to Pan Liwei.

After receiving a phone call from Li Jingwei, before Li Jingwei could speak, Pan Liwei scolded the American media again. After he called Li Jingwei yesterday to learn the truth, he scolded angrily at that time.

"Jingwei, come back, what's the good thing about staying in that place in the United States. After Pan Liwei scolded, he finally said.

"Lao Pan, don't worry, I'm fine. I'm ready to go to Oxford University as a visiting professor. Li Jingwei said.

"When are you going to Oxford?" asked Pan Liwei.

He knew that Li Jingwei was very good at mathematics, but he didn't expect it to be so good. Look at this rhythm, the top universities in the world, you can go to whichever one you want, it's too awesome.

"yes, probably in a month. Li Jingwei replied.

Then, he said to Pan Liwei: "Lao Pan, I just sent you a piece of information, and you arrange for someone to spread it through the platform of Jiexun." I don't care, but I don't want my family to be under too much pressure. I believe that this information can break the rumors and set the record straight. ”

Although he did not browse the domestic website, from relatives and friends calling him one after another, Li Jingwei could also guess that about his own affairs, I am afraid that rumors are already flying in China.

Although Li Jingwei didn't care about these remarks, he didn't want his family to be under pressure from public opinion because of himself. Therefore, I want to publish some evidence through the channels of Jiexun to let the rumors die down as soon as possible.

"Okay, with our Jiexun's online platform, it will spread out quickly, and we will slap the media and people with ulterior motives. ”

I have to say that the lawyer entrusted by Li Jingwei this time is very efficient. Within a day or so, he not only went to the hospital where Li Jingwei was born and obtained the birth file materials, but also obtained the testimony of doctors and nurses.

The doctor and nurse who delivered the baby were still alive and well, and they provided proof of the documents they had signed. At the same time, it was said that they could testify in court if necessary.

In addition, Li Jingwei's passport, which has been regularly renewed over the years, has also been retained, which is also very powerful evidence.

The lawyer also told Li Jingwei that he would also go to the Social Security Bureau to obtain further evidence. Then, a lawsuit will be filed against some of the media outlets.

I believe that the rain will soon pass.
